Anyone looking for an open-source deep learning framework with expression, speed and modularity
About Caffe
Caffe is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind. It is developed by Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) and by community contributors. Yangqing Jia created the project during his PhD at UC Berkeley. Caffe is released under the BSD 2-Clause license. Check out our web image classification demo! Expressive architecture encourages application and innovation. Models and optimization are defined by configuration without hard-coding. Switch between CPU and GPU by setting a single flag to train on a GPU machine then deploy to commodity clusters or mobile devices. Extensible code fosters active development. In Caffe’s first year, it has been forked by over 1,000 developers and had many significant changes contributed back. Thanks to these contributors the framework tracks the state-of-the-art in both code and models. Speed makes Caffe perfect for research experiments and industry deployment. Caffe can process over 60M images per day with a single NVIDIA K40 GPU.

DeepSpeed
DeepSpeed is an open source deep learning optimization library for PyTorch. It's designed to reduce computing power and memory use, and to train large distributed models with better parallelism on existing computer hardware. DeepSpeed is optimized for low latency, high throughput training.
DeepSpeed can train DL models with over a hundred billion parameters on the current generation of GPU clusters. It can also train up to 13 billion parameters in a single GPU.
DeepSpeed is developed by Microsoft and aims to offer distributed training for large-scale models. It's built on top of PyTorch, which specializes in data parallelism.

PyTorch
Transition seamlessly between eager and graph modes with TorchScript, and accelerate the path to production with TorchServe. Scalable distributed training and performance optimization in research and production is enabled by the torch-distributed backend. A rich ecosystem of tools and libraries extends PyTorch and supports development in computer vision, NLP and more. PyTorch is well supported on major cloud platforms, providing frictionless development and easy scaling. Select your preferences and run the install command. Stable represents the most currently tested and supported version of PyTorch. This should be suitable for many users. Preview is available if you want the latest, not fully tested and supported, 1.10 builds that are generated nightly. Please ensure that you have met the prerequisites (e.g., numpy), depending on your package manager. Anaconda is our recommended package manager since it installs all dependencies.

MXNet
A hybrid front-end seamlessly transitions between Gluon eager imperative mode and symbolic mode to provide both flexibility and speed. Scalable distributed training and performance optimization in research and production is enabled by the dual parameter server and Horovod support. Deep integration into Python and support for Scala, Julia, Clojure, Java, C++, R and Perl. A thriving ecosystem of tools and libraries extends MXNet and enables use-cases in computer vision, NLP, time series and more. Apache MXNet is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision-making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. Join the MXNet scientific community to contribute, learn, and get answers to your questions.
